coincidence-dreams
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
There are people that have many meaningful coincidences in their life and from time to time more or less symbolic precognitive dreams. Reality is much more complex than we imagine. I think many of these people have "thin boundaries" (psychologists know more about this). You can find that such people often get together in societies like International Association for the Study of Dreams http://asdreams.org/subidxconfuture.htm ... here it is a recent article that I found of interest regarding prayer and health ("Rethinking Prayer and Health Research: An Exploratory Inquiry on Prayer’s Psychological Dimension"---http://ssrn.com/abstract=1992323) . It might explain more about what it means to believe something/in something (as this might trigger those coincidences that are meaningful). There is a lot to study and hopefully some researchers will try to bring a little light on these issues. You might want to see the documentary "Placebo: Cracking the Code" (2002).
